Crossbow + create object
by Sam3d · in Torque Game Engine · 07/12/2004 (6:00 pm) · 6 replies
Hi,
Would appreciate any pointers to creating an object, say a boulder, at the location of a projectile hit.
Does that require a recompile or can it be done with script?
Either way, suggestions of where to insert code appreciated.
(I can create new datablocks and insert them).

As Gonzo is alluding to, you can simply create a new object at the point of collision in your Projectile::onCollision() method. (Entirely in script)
Something like:
Edit - Had to pretty that up a bit. :)

Something like:
function CrossbowProjectile::onCollision(%ProjDB,%Proj,%Trgt,%Fade,[b]%Pos[/b],%Norm)
{
new rock() {
position = [b]%Pos[/b];
}

Now, of course, the issue is alignment to the terrain.
How do I get the rotation value? Something to do with %normal ?
Would fxShapeReplicator be easier?
thanks,

Great, this works... if there is a more efficient node to use, please enlighten me. function CrossbowProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
echo("normal: " @ %normal);
new TSStatic(){
position = %pos;
// rotation = "0 0 -1 2.29206";
scale = "1 1 1";
shapeName = "~/data/interiors/rocks/rock1.dts";
showTerrainInside = "0";
};
etc.Now, of course, the issue is alignment to the terrain.

Which rotation do you want? rotation of the particle when it hits?

I'd like to roughly align the new rock to the terrain slope, if possible.

Well... maybe. I'd like to roughly align the new rock to the terrain slope, if possible.
